we have a congressman here to talk about the democrats and their negotiating position in the big debt ceiling fight in washington. whether or not the white house really just put social security and medicare on the table for cuts. that is all ahead. but we start tonight with a dramatic development in a life or death issue. it is literally about life and death. about the power of the government to kill people it is holding prisoner. but it's also about presidential politics, and who will be the republican party's nominee for president this year. there are two unquestionable truisms in coverage of republican presidential politics right now. one is that the prohibitive favorite to get the republican party's nomination, the front-runner so far out in front it is almost impossible to imagine anyone catching him is mitt romney. mitt romney seen here at the romney fundraiser today in london, england, of all places. mr. romney leads in all scientific international polls at this point, in all iowa polls, new hampshire polls, and in fundraiser. he is the front-runner and is front running alone.

that's the big danger i think we face with these big media conglomerates. i was very intrigued that when this scandal started breaking in london, rupert murdoch was actually in sun valley, idaho, for that annual gathering of what is virtually a cartel of very powerful media barons. and, you know, they look up to him because of the money he makes with his philosophy of anything goes. and the fact that they were all there in sun valley when this began to happen, i hope, is perhaps an unintended message about whether their allegiance is to the american people or their own bottom line. >> and it was at least should have been embarrassing, and maybe the test is whether or not they feel embarrassment when something like that happens. i work at a big corporate conglomerate controlled media outlet. and i feel like the way to handle this as an individual journalist for me is i have carved out a sphere here of editorial independence. on msnbc, my deal with the company is i will do shows on msnbc, and you will not tell me what to say. and they are very comfortable wit

each chance they keep losing big elections by bigger margins. in florida in 2008, they lost but they won. in ohio, we had dry machines and wet people, they won by that mar margin, but 40 states, those are disabled and people of color. the problem of justice much play its role to investigate and defend people's protected right to vote. >> what do you think the department of justice should specifically do? do you think this is a job for individual states and should be investigated specifically or do you want a nationwide probe? >> it has to be nationwide, but each state has its own scheme. for example, imagine in michigan where the governor observes the right to suspend that mayor and council, all those voters put in an emergency manager who then has the power to suspend all labor negotiations and subsidiary assets. that's a voter oppression, undemocratic, for example. all students on campuses, and in 2000, president barack ran in 2008, whole campuses could vote. they are targeting students, senior disabled, black and brown people. it is violating
